Hookah with multiple tobacco bowls

Abstract

The present invention relates to a Hookah otherwise known as a water pipe or Nargile. The hookah is used to smoke tobacco or other herbs that are heated using a hot charcoal. With multiple tobacco bowls, this hookah allows the user to consume a mixture of smoke from different flavored tobaccos. The various bowls are independent from each other and spaced apart so that the heat from one does not affect the others. The spacing of the bowls also protects the user from burn injuries while replacing the tobacco or charcoal in each bowl. The smoke from each bowl is directed into a stem tube where it is mixed before being filtered and cooled by water in preparation for consumption. Each tobacco bowl can be connected to a flow control device that allows the user to fine tune the amount of smoke from each bowl and achieve the preferred flavor.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A smoking apparatus comprising:
 a container having an opening; 
 a smoke chamber in communication with said container through said opening; 
 a stem tube extending through said smoke chamber into said container through said opening; 
 a plurality of tubes attached to said stem tube; 
 a plurality of bowls in communication with said tubes and having a top surface with a plurality of holes; 
 a flow control device connected inline to said tubes to allow control over the flow of smoke through said tubes; and 
 at least one hose in communication with said smoke chamber and arranged to permit a user to draw on one end of said hose to draw air through said holes on said bowls, through said tubes, through said stem tube, through said container, through said smoke chamber, and into said hose. 
 
     
     
       2. The smoking apparatus in  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of tubes extend upwardly. 
     
     
       3. The smoking apparatus in  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of bowls are attached to said tubes with a rubber grommet to create an airtight seal. 
     
     
       4. The smoking apparatus in  claim 1 , wherein said smoke chamber is attached to said container with an airtight seal that allows smoke to flow between said smoke chamber and said container. 
     
     
       5. The smoking apparatus in  claim 1 , wherein said hose is attached to said smoke chamber with an airtight seal that allows smoke to flow between said smoke chamber and said hose. 
     
     
       6. The smoking apparatus in  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of tubes are attached to said stem tube with an airtight seal that allows smoke to flow between said tubes and said stem tube. 
     
     
       7. The smoking apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a mouthpiece having a distal end and a proximal end wherein said distal end has an opening and wherein said proximal end is attached to said hose with an airtight seal that allows smoke to flow between said hose and said mouthpiece. 
     
     
       8. The smoking apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of plates having a hole wherein said tubes are inserted through said hole and wherein said plates are seated underneath said bowls.
